BISHOP PHILLIPS HOLDS KENTUCKY CONFERENCE - Local Pastors Report Round; Rev. C. L. Russell Makes Record - LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 23--The Kentucky Conference was opened here today by Bishop C. H. Phillips of Cleveland, Ohio, in its first session since the division of the Kentucky and Ohio Conference into two Conferences. The Ohio Conference met in Indianapolis last week. The Kentucky Conference is convening here at the Phillip Temple Church, Rev. L. Rucker, pastor. Had the Conferences met in the past this would have been the sixty-seventh annual session. While the Conference is smaller there is a large delegation of ministers and lay members, a good number of visitors present, and a great deal of enthusiasism. The two presiding elders, Re. C. L. Howard of the Louisville District and Rev. G. W. Stewart of the Lexington District have covered more territory during this year, and the ministers from the churches of their districts have had a good year and good round reports are expected to be made during the week. Louisville May Lead Conference The Louisville District, presided over by Dr. Howard is expected to make a round report and the Louisville churches are expected to lead the Conference, notwithstanding the work done by Rev. M. V. Allen at Mt. Sterling and Rev. Rucker here at Lexington. Rev. C. L. Russell energetic pastor of the Chestnut Street C. M. E. Church, Louisville is said to have one of the biggest if not the biggest report that has ever come from that church. It is said that Dr. Russell has raised close to $5,000 during the year and that he is round in everything, including budget, missionary money etc., and that the (Continued on page 8) [Photo] BISHOP C.

SHELBY CROWD HEARS ANDERSON By James F. Beard Shelbyville, Ky., Oct. 23.--The old adage, that "straws show the way the wind is blowing," was never more clearly demonstrated than it was last Thursday night when the greatest outpouring of the unterrified citizens of Shelbyville assembled at the Court House to hear our own Hon. Charles W. Anderson speak. Mr. Anderson was introduced by our own young Dr. Rabb in well chosen words, and Mr. Anderson, who eloquently appealed to his heareres in interest of the Republican party, made it clear to them that the Democratic nominees would merely be puppets in the hands of the master magicians at Frankfort, and that the past record of the Democrats showed that they were not capable of running the State. Mr. Anderson, who is candidate for the State Legislature from the 58th District in Louisville, and who will be elected, made a lasting impression on the capacity crowd of people who came from every nook and corner of the community around to hear him. After Mr. Anderson's speech there is little doubt about the vote that Judge (Continued on page 8)

BLANTON QUIZZES EDUCATION CANDIDATES IN LETTER - W. J. Moore, Republican Candidate, Says He Stands Unqualifiedly Behind All Things Asked - Judgge King Swope, Republican candidate for Governor is speaking to large crowds of white and colored people wherever he appears. And it is said that as many speeches as he delivered day and night, and during the week, he is not able to fill all places which he is asked to appear. Colored people are coming from many miles around to hear him. According to colored leaders, who are surveying the situation over the state, never has there been so much enthusiasm as there is manifested among the colored people over Kentucky in the present campaign. They know judge Swope, they have been told time and again about his fair and impartial dealing with all people in his private and public life and they also know that so far as his attitude toward colored people is concerned, that he has been weighed in the balance and not found wanting. The colored people also know bout the economic plan which Judge Swope usually follows in his administrations and they are anxious for November 5 to come that they may vote for him, elect him and make living in Kentucky better. Not only is Judge Swope speaking to record crowds of colored people, but the same is true of the speakers white and colored who are appearing over the state for Judge Swope and in interest of the entire ticket. Questions Put To Education Candidates; Republican Makes Satisfactory Answer A letter sent out to W. J. Moore, Republican and H. W. Peters, Democrat candidates for superintendent of education, subject to the November 5 election, by W. S. Blanton, president of the Kentucky Negro Educational Association, was promptly responded to by each of the candidates. The letter of Mr. Blanton, which carries questions of importance to the educational progress of the Negro in Kentucky, and the answers of Mr. Moore, who is president of the Eastern State Teachers' College and Mr. Peters, who is in the Department of Education of Frankfort, follow: President Blanton's Letter Dear Sir: I have the honor to write you relative to several matters which are of vital concern to the 226,000 Negro Citizens of Kentucky, and their 55,000 children of school age.
